INTRODUCTION 


THE GIRARD COLLECTION OF ANCIENT ITALIAN 
DECORATIVE OBJECTS 


Cavalier Carlo M. Girard, the Florentine connoisseur and well- 
versed antiquarian, recently relinquished the lease of his studios at 149 
East 57th Street, New York, in order to return permanently to his 
studios in Florence, and has therefore consigned his entire collection to 
the American Art Association to be sold. Cavalier Girard is widely 
known for his taste and judgment in the art circles of Italy and to 
many of the American travelers who have a penchant for the beautiful. 
‘During eight years or more, he was chiefly concerned with assembling 
the unique gatherings of Furniture, Velvets and other objects for the 
historic “Villa Palmieri,” near Florence, ‘“‘Boccaccio’s Villa.”” There 
friends visited the famous poet, Boccaccio, and there was written the 
“Decameron.” ‘The remarkable ‘‘Forged Iron” that adorns the Villa is 
the foremost collection of its kind in the world, unrivaled for its variety 
and completeness. The Great War interrupted the Cavalier’s activities, 
but, although he was not permitted to join the army, he soon asso- 
ciated himself with his own and the American Red Cross. In this field 
he was called upon to erect the “Homes for Sons of Men at the Front.” 
These buildings were constructed on the famous ancient walls of Lucca, 
without destroying the fine old artistic flavor and spirit; for, fortu- 
nately, Cavalier Girard had not lost the cunning he had acquired as 
an architect at the “Fine Arts School” of Florence. His country 
created him a Cavalier of the “Order of St. Mauritius and Lazarus,” 
and America commissioned him an Honorary Captain. 

The Bargello, in Florence, recently accepted and is exhibiting a 
most interesting small, but rare collection of Bronze Bells, secured 
during a period of many years by the Cavalier. ‘The gathering now 
shown includes numerous objects from well-known collections, such as 
those of Castelnuovo di Garfagnana, the Davanzati Palace, Professors 
Pedulli and Guzzardi, Cavalier Cigerza of Rome, Conte Cassoli of 
Reggio, the Bossi, Conte Brancoli Bus-draghi of Lucca, Chevalier 
Cantoni, and the Celebrated English poet, Robert Browning, several 
of the Cabinets coming from such historic sources as the Strozzi, the 
Chiarimonte and Salviati Families. 

The spirit of Italian craftsmanship is to be seen in the cherishing - 
of the wonderful old patina of the woods which has given full play to 
the lovely tones of the Furniture. 


The classic Furniture is of the Gothic and Renaissance periods, 
including numerous Chairs of all types from the “Balia” or small Nurs- 
ing Chairs, to the noble State Chairs, covered in rich Velvet, Needle- 
work or Tapestry ; Cassoni from the Schools of Sansovino and Pocetti; 
rare Cabinets and Credences; a Revolving Top Center Table used for 
playing the popular card game of the day, “‘Banker and Broker,” and 
a number of unusual Refectory Tables of great merit. 

Among the Chairs is a beautiful needlework set of twelve, executed 
in rare “Punto Parma,” a stitch almost identical with French Petit- 
point. These chairs are in their original condition, even to the green 
fringe. The Italian Government evinced so much interest in them that 
it stopped their removal and only bad times gave a pathway to their 
escape. 

There is also among the furniture a group of five small Marriage 
Writing Cabinets, or “Steppo a Bambocci,” that are exceedingly in- 
teresting, having been executed in the late fifteenth century in the 
Bottega of Verrocchio, or by his followers. One of these, no doubt, 
belonged to Browning and held the precious manuscripts of this cele- 
brated English poet at his Villa in Candeli, near Florence. Each of 
these Cabinets, with its many small sculptured symbolic figures, is a 
gem of fine craftsmanship and composition. 

The Venetian Glass shown is of the sixteenth and seventeenth cen- 
turies, and is amazing in its delicacy of form. 

Professor Pedulli, the great Florentine authority on Metal Work, 
is responsible for the fine Repoussé Brass “Piatti a Spoffi’?; two or 
three of these being of the fifteenth century. 

The interesting Northern Italian Halberds are from the Villa of 
Professor Guzzardi of Florence. 

There is a very attractive assemblage of Italian Gothic and 
Renaissance Forged Iron and Copper; including Lavabos, Andirons, 
Lanterns, Candelabra, Torchéres and the famous Davanzati Palace 
Chandelier. 

Among the very important Velvets are many of beautiful and 
unusual color that quite beggar description. None have been illus- 
trated, for it is futile to attempt to give any idea of their charm of 
color from a black and white photograph. 

A set of seven Crimson Balcony Hangings from the Roman Palace 
of Cavalier Cigerza are in their original condition, as when woven at 
the Meditean Looms of Lucca. 

The Early Florentine and Sienese Primitifs include two charming 
Terra-cotta Bas-Reliefs by the Della Robbias ; several naive and lovely, 
tinted stucco Bas-Reliefs of Madonnas, two Polychrome Busts and a 
group very appealing in their simplicity and strength. 


The paintings are represented by sterling works of Cozzarelli, 
di Nardo, di Niccolo and di Daccio. 

Perhaps the only non-Italian work of art on display, except a 
few Flemish and Aubusson chair coverings, is the very powerfully 
decorative set of Gothic Renaissance Enghien Tapestries of the six- 
teenth century, depicting animals amid large scrollings leaves and 
wooded landscapes. 

The entire exhibition gives one a very distinctive appreciation of 
the care and thought that Cavalier Girard has given to the selection 
and preservation of this rarely homogeneous collection.

CONDITIONS OF SALE 


I. Rejection of bids: Any bid which is not commensurate with the value of the 
article offered, or which is merely a nominal or fractional advance may be rejected by 
the auctioneer if in his judgment such bid would be likely to affect the sale injuriously. 

Il. The buyer: The highest bidder shall be the buyer, and if any dispute arises 
between two or more bidders, the auctioneer shall either decide the same or put up for 
re-sale the lot so in dispute. 

Ill. Identification and devosit by buyer: The name of the buyer of each lot shall 
be given immediately on the sale thereof, and when so required, each buyer shall sign a 
eard giving the lot number, amount for which sold, and his or her name and address. 

A deposit at the actual time of the sale shall be made of all or such part of the 
purchase prices as may be required. 

If the two foregoing conditions are not complied with, the lot or lots so pur- 
chased may at the option of the auctioneer be put up again and re-sold. 

IV. Risk after purchase: Title passes upon the fall of the auctioneer’s hammer, 
and thereafter the property is at the purchasers’ risk, and neither the consignor nor the 
Association is responsible for the loss of, or any damage to any article by theft, fire, 
breakage, however occasioned, or any other cause whatsoever. 

V. Delivery of purchases: Delivery of any purchases will be made only upon 
payment of the total amount due for all purchases at the sale. 

VI. Receipted bills: Goods will only be delivered on presentation of a receipted 
bill. A receipted bill presented by any person will be recognized and honored as an order 
by the buyer, directing the delivery to the bearer of the goods described thereon. If a 
receipted bill is lost before delivery of the property has been taken, the buyer should 
immediately notify the Association of such loss. 

VII. Storage in default of prompt payment and calling for goods: Articles not 
_paid for in full and not called for by the purchaser or agent by noon of the day following 
that of the sale may be turned over by the Association to some carter to be carried to 
and stored in some warehouse until the time of the delivery therefrom to the purchaser, 
and the cost of such cartage and storage and any other charges will be charged against 
the purchaser and the risk of loss or damage occasioned by such removal or storage will 
be upon the purchaser. 

In any instance where the purchase bill has not been paid in full by noon of the 
day following that of the sale, the Association and the auctioneer reserve the right, any 
other stipulation in these conditions of sale notwithstanding, in respect to any or all lots 
included in the purchase bill, at its or his option, either to cancel the sale thereof or to 
re-sell the same at public or private sale without further notice for the account of the 
buyer and to hold the buyer responsible for any deficiency and all losses and expenses 
sustained in so doing. 

VIII. Shipping: Shipping, boxing or wrapping of purchases is a business in which 
the Association is in no wise engaged, but the Association will, however, afford to pur- 
chasers every facility for employing at current and reasonable rates carriers and packers; 
doing so, however, without any assumption of responsibility on its part for the acts and 
charges of the parties engaged for such service. 

IX. Guaranty: The Association exercises great care to catalogue every lot cor- 
rectly and endeavors therein and also at the actual time of sale to point out any error, 
defect or imperfection, but guaranty is not made either by the owner or the Association 
of the correctness of the description, genuineness, authenticity or condition of any lot and 
no sale will be set aside on account of any incorrectness, error of cataloging or imper- 
fection not noted or pointed out. Every lot is sold ‘as is” and without recourse. 

Every lot is on public exhibition one or mcre days prior to its sale, and the Asso- 
ciation will give consideration to the opinion of any trustworthy expert to the effect that 
any lot has been incorrectly catalogued and in its judgment may thereafter sell the lot 
as catalogued or make mention of the opinion of such expert, who thereby will become 
responsible for such damage as might result were his opinion without foundation. 

X. Records: The records of the Auctioneer and the Association are in all cases to 
be considered final and the highest bid shall in all cases be accepted by both buyer and 
seller as the value against which all claims for losses or damage shall lie. 

_ Xi. Buying on order: Buying or bidding by the Association for responsible 
parties on orders transmitted to it by mail, telegraph, or telephone, if conditions permit, 
will be faithfully attended to without charge or commission. Any purchases so made 
will be subject to the foregoing conditions of sale, except that, in the event of a purchase 
of a lot of one or more books by or for a purchaser who has not through himself or his 
agent been present at the exhibition or sale, the Association will permit such lot to be 
returned within ten days from the date of sale, and the purchase money will be refunded 
if the lot differs from its catalogue description. 

Orders for execution by the Association should be given with such clearness as 
to leave no room for misunderstanding. Not only should the lot number be given, 
but also the title, and bids should be stated to be so much for the lot, and when the 
lot consists of one or more volumes of books or objects of arts, the bid per volume 
or piece should also be stated. If the one transmitting the order is unknown to the Asso- 
Aen det a deposit must be sent or reference submitted. Shipping directions should also 

e given. 

Priced Catalogues: Priced copies of the catalogue, or any session thereof, will be 
furnished by the Association at charges commensurate with the duties involved in copy- 
ing the necessary information from the records of the Association. 


These conditions of sale cannot be altered except by the auctioneer or by an officer 
of the Association.
